Fruit Machine Chat

Not a lot to choose from really. Either you've moved your e-proms into a duff board with what is supposed to be a good battery, or you have damaged the sound e-prom ~ very easy to do ~ are you 100% sure that all of the legs went fully into their slot and did not crumple or fold on themselveves and d...

Do you have all of the keys and know how to open the doors?

Were you aware that your link doesn't appear to work?

With regards to the fault, the only thing that I can think of is that your "home made" loom isn't 100% as it should be.

The easiest way is to fit a new coin mech, or get yours re-programmed somewhere to take uk coins. Please explain what you mean by "I connected the parralel and the sorter override cables" as I have no idea what these are, and suspect you're doing something that you've been told will work, ...

Not sure you can re-set these, but if they are coming on when you first turn the machine on, you've obviously got something set up "wrong" ~ "wrong" isn't the right word, as the machine isn't doing anything that it's not designed to do, it's just that in the real world, this func...

If by "clocks" you mean the mechanical meters, then forget it. If you mean the short term digital banks, that's relatively easy, but if you want to do the long term meters too, then more difficult. As for how you get money in and moey out, please be more specific as to what the actual ques...

It is possible to slacken the reel off a bit, and move it round, but if it's more than say a few mm, then I would suggest your problem is something else. Given the other problem, and assuming that the opto sensor is clean and not faulty, and that the sensor paddle has not broken off, then I suspect ...

As you say ~ very odd. They should not be fluctuating at all ~ they are either on or off ~ just like a light switch ~ I assume you've flicked the switch fully home. Reprogramming is very quick and simple ~ if you've got the right kit and have registered with the fruit machine manufacturer. Simply do...

First of all, your machine swapping the LED display on start up between the JCM and NV4 is nothing to worry about ~ Your machine simply thinks it's fitted with a serial note acceptor, but isn't capable of distinguising between the two. I suspect you've either got a loom fiited, or you've got the Dil...

Error code definately relates to the hopper payout, but you appear to have tried all the obvious. However, if the opto or the motor are actually faulty, then what you've done will not cure the fault.
I would suggest swapping the hopper bed for a known good unit, to eliminate both of these at once.

Failing anything obvious like a physical obstruction to the reel, then I'd suggest it's simply bugg**ed.
Try swapping the reels around ~ if the fault follows the reel, then the problem is definately with the reel and it will need to be replaced.

Sounds like a spot on diagnosis to me

Common problem with reels are the opto sensor, but the juddering you have discribed makes it seem more likely to be the motor breaking down.

You could try flea bay, but you will no doubt be approached by others on this forum who have what you need. They're generally not expensive, but due to their weight, the cost of postage can be a killer. They are very simple to replace in less than 5 minutes.

Sorry to seem a bit thick, but how do you know they're getting stuck if you don't know where they are going? As a suggestion, open the front door, but put some tape over the door switch to fool the machine into thinking it's all locked up ~ then insert a 50p coin and watch carefully where it goes. A...
